Closed Get Essential Tremors recognised as a disability

Closed on

To Make Essential Tremors a recognised Disabililty. Just like Parkinsons disease is recognised, and to be able to claim the disability allowances needed to make life easier for the people that suffer daily with this debilitating illness that gets worse with age, At present ESA and DLA is very difficult to be awarded for this illness and getting jobs and holding down jobs is extremly difficult due to the nature of this illness..and how if affects the person.. it changes day to day. Essential Tremors is more commonly suffered than Parkinsons, but it is not widely publicised and not many people are aware of this illness and how many people actually suffer from it.
